5. Star Lord
About as unusual as Marvel heroes come, Star Lord stands out due to how actively he’s try not to be a superhero. He’s selfish and has his own needs – he justifies saving the universe by saying it’s only because he happens to live in it. This just means that his journey to becoming a hero and earning the “Star Lord” mantel is all the more satisfying. As a Parks and Recreation fan, it was delightful to see Chris Pratt transform into action hero, but what makes the transformation so successful is what he didn’t lose – his natural, goof-ball charm and quick wit. Guardians 2 will hopefully only explore his subtleties further.
